Hudson drops his gaze as I stalk past him and he follows behind silently and we leave before the night even begins.

I’ll Never Let You Go
Parker
It’s dark when we reach the house and it looks like Matt is home, throwing yet another party and it’s getting on my nerves.
When Hudson switches off the car, I get out and shut the door a little too hard behind me, before stalking off towards the house.
If Hudson wants a party girl, then a party girl is exactly what he’ll get tonight.
My hair feels a little funny from the beach, slightly rough, but I don’t give a damn right now. I want to get drunk and possibly high. Maybe if I act like a brainless bimbo, Hudson will finally be satisfied with me.
I walk inside the house, not bothering to even check if Hudson is following behind. But if he is, I’d have to restrain myself from giving him the finger.
The air is warm and the house is buzzing with people, the floors slick with beer and other unidentifiable substances that I don’t wish to inspect.
I head into the kitchen as the lyrics toWhat’s Poppinby Jack Harlow fills my ears.
I also feel really thirsty suddenly. Grabbing a clean red solo cup from the stack on the island, I fill it up with crushed ice and use some of the blue Gatorade, before topping it up with the vodka.
“Hey.” Matt walks into the kitchen in a dark blue button-down shirt and jeans. His hair is messy and he wears a fake golden wreath on his head. He also looks wasted as fuck as he stumbles towards me.
“Hi.” I take a tentative sip of my drink, but it tastes super good, so I take another long sip.
“Uh oh,” Matt says leaning against the island. “What did he do?”
“I really don’t want to talk about him or what he did, but I do feel like this is the last time I’ll be hanging out with you,” I tell him and then I drain my cup before preparing another quick drink.
I make the same drink this time and add a small splash of tequila, before mixing the drink with my index finger and taking a good gulp. The burning sensation inside my throat feels so good.
It is Spring Break and I do behave myself every other part of the year, so why not misbehave a little now?
“I’m sorry, he’s always been that way. I on the other hand am a complete gentleman, wanna go out on the deck?” Matt smiles genuinely so I smile back and take my drink as we head out to the deck where the music is blasting.
Narcosby Migos starts playing now through the stereo system and people start cheering.
“So what are you planning on doing after college?” Matt asks as he leans into me.
“You want to talk to me about college right now?” I ask, sounding a little more judgemental than I intend. “Sorry, yeah I can tell you if you don’t share the same views as your dad.”
“My father is an old bastard that will never change, unfortunately,” Matt says, but there’s something sad about the way he says it.
“It’s difficult pleasing him?”
My mind feels fuzzy, sort of like those old retro TV sets with a constant static screen. I feel like saying something more apologetic, but I can’t think straight.What the hell am I doing?
“Yeah, but Hudson always got the worst of it. I was the coward.”
“Parker.”
Matt and I both look up to see Hudson standing a few feet away from us. His face is blank and his eyes are dark. A shiver curls down my spine. I know he’s not in a good mood. Well, I don’t really give a damn.
“What are you doing?” His question is directed at Matt.
“Chill, we’re having drinks. Clearly, you don’t know how to be chill,” Matt says.
